21.8.15 #theseven

our #celticteens class continued to impress with their improvement and hard work over the summer paying off. With some great Deadlifting by our youngest ‘Team Doff’ #celticwarrior Joe

   
  Followed by our #celticwarriors finishing off a challenging week with a Friday Hero WOD and some great efforts across the box

WOD

  

  

     
Well done to all finishing the week with a good sweaty Hero

Well done to Tracy repeating her HSPU’s

Erika continuing to improve with the fastest scaled time combined with quality movement. 

The big man Drewy with fastest time of the day

  
Biggest mention goes to Stu who in his time with us so far has  transformed his physical ability already. With his achievement today testament to his willingness to listen and learn and the amount of bloody hard work he has put into every session at the gym. Not only getting his first HSPU’s but also his very first pull-up, which he then followed with another 49 in the Workout. 

Well done. Inspired stuff Stu #CelticWarrior

Before which we had a test of another kind- 3 RM Front Squat belt less.

Providing PR lifts and previous PR lifts for reps for many #celticwarriors including Jo.

With Owen, Maria, Tei all getting in on the action before breakfast. With too many to mention in the PM. Matt, Emma, Kris, Katie, Nicola, Lorna, Doffy and son Jo getting on the bandwagon. Great lifting by Aimee with plenty in reserve. And a welcome back to Boxhead father to far more talented young Warrior Max!
